'''Craig Smajstrla''' (pronounced: Suh-ma-struh-luh) (born [[June 19]], [[1962]] in [[Houston, Texas]]) was a [[Major League Baseball]] player with the [[Houston Astros]] baseball club in 1988. A native of the [[Houston]] area, he only had three at-bats in his entire big league career and never recorded a hit or walk, but did reach base several times as a pinch runner. He tied a record set by many that have appeared in the Majors and yet never recorded a hit. His Astros record was broken in 1990 when Jeff Baldwin went 0 for 7 in his career. Smajstrla was nicknamed "Mr. Buy A Vowel" by Astros broadcaster [[Milo Hamilton]]. He was one of only three Houston natives on the '88 Astros roster (the others were [[Craig Reynolds (baseball player)|Craig Reynolds]] and [[Steve Henderson]]). Smajstrla was also known for being one of the smallest players in baseball as he was only 5'9" tall and weighed 165 lbs.
